Halo 2 Gun, New Maps Coming to Halo 5: Guardians

343 Industries has detailed the next wave of multiplayer content headed to Halo 5: Guardians ahead of its release next week.

The forthcoming update, dubbed Infinity's Armory, brings with it two new battlegrounds: an Arena map called Riptide and a new Warzone Assault map called Urban. The former features "winding routes of steel and sand," while the latter boasts one of Warzone's more open map designs with plenty of sightlines.

Additionally, the classic Halo 2 Battle Rifle will be appearing in Guardians as a Mythic loadout weapon REQ that players can use in Warzone. The iconic firearm will also be available to those in Forge. New uncommon and rare variants of the Carbine, as well as the Achilles armor set will be featured in the update as well.

Infinity's Armory will roll out next week as an automatic download for Halo 5: Guardians players. For more on 343 Industries' Xbox One-exclusive shooter, check out IGN's Halo 5 Wiki Guide.
